Business infrastructure enhancing productivity

Inefficient processing are a major cause of reduced productivity, this inefficiency slows down the entire production process.
The world is going faster; you have to go fast.
We are a fast-consuming society; we need to produce quickly.
The competition is strong because technology is widely available; we have to produce quality.
In this case, your processing effectiveness can be determined by having these three layers:
- Speed of production;
- Ability to scale up to meet high demand;
- The quality of your product.
Successful companies like Amazon have incorporated these three layers into their processing, resulting in high productivity unmatched by their competitors.

Efficient business infrastructure allows you to produce faster and scale up, which can be effective when backed by capital.
The availability of capital allows you to fine-tune your product to deliver quality, which requires time. How then can you survive while refining your product without sales as a business? 
Amazon wasn't profitable for years; Bezos wasn't starving, nor were his employees.
With capital to sustain its operations, Amazon has time to build its infrastructure and refine its offerings, which are key to its success. No company in the world can move goods around the world with such efficiency as Amazon. (Product development is the cornerstone of any business development, which requires time and capital.)
Building an effective business infrastructure is essential in a fast-growing, technology-consuming society, this has always been the case. In South Africa, mobile operators need the Telkom network because bypassing it, will require time and huge investment, which a business (for-profit entity) cannot afford. Michael Jordaan, with time and capital, was able to build a banking infrastructure that allows for zero banking fees. The same vision that we saw recently with Liquid Telecom, acquiring a licence and installing its fiber optic network, which will be essential in the future. This is one of the causes of the failure of state owned enterprises such as the post office in Côte d'Ivoire, which has not taken advantage and benefited from its commercial infrastructure.

In the case of the state, we all know that infrastructure leads to development, that we see in countries like Egypt, Morocco, Mauritius, Côte d'Ivoire, etc.
But, unlike Mauritius, Côte d'Ivoire does not follow the construction of economic infrastructure with the avaibility of business services infrastructure, for better use of these economic infrastructure, as Amazon has done, which will transform its economic investments into financial investments.
Your processing must allow efficient and rapid use of your infrastructure to increase productivity.
A road build should be used to create more sales; people get to work early and quickly; more trucks reach ports and markets faster; and consumers get their goods faster.
Then boom! In South Africa, we have loadshedding, and the production process slows down because the government has not followed up on upgrading the construction of electrical infrastructure (crucial business infrastructure).
Energy is the lifeblood of all development, the new gold rush. With its strong business infrastructure and time to refine its product, no wonder Tesla is such a valuable company. In terms of product development, Elon Musk is doing so well that he is about to send people to Mars.

The processing concept must be made efficient for your business to have high productivity; with Artificial Intelligence "the new kid in the block", ideas leading to excellent products being available, the reduction of inefficient processing must then take place. It is the great advantage of business intelligence, which can lead companies to the best business infrastructure to build for their operations to grow and develop.
Artificial Intelligence for now allow you to have a good product and an orientation, but it will not distribute your products to all four corners of the world; your business infrastructure and your capacity to scale up can do it.
